Car repair

Whatever fault might have occurred with your vehicle, D P Auto Repairs can deal with it. With over fifty years of experience between them, our team of skilled technicians can handle any car repairs you bring to us.

Car service

At D P Auto Repairs, our fully-qualified and experienced technicians provide a full, end-to-end car service for you. As the area’s top independent Ford specialists, much of our work involves those models of car, but our team of professionals can provide an extensive car service for any make or model.

Car diagnostic

Running a check on your car diagnostics can provide all kinds of information regarding the overall health of your vehicle. Since pretty much everything in a modern car is connected to the internal computer in some way, the equipment we use gives us live data analysis specific to your car. It is then possible to get accurate and detailed car diagnostic results that can pinpoint current or future problems with performance.

DPF cleaning

Most modern diesel cars have a Diesel Particulate Filter, or DPF that collects and contains the soot produced as part of regular diesel emissions. Over time, this gets clogged reducing performance, economy and will also trigger your engine management light, which is where DPF cleaning comes in. DPF cleaning is one of our essential garage services that many local garages are unable to perform. With our state-of-the-art DPF cleaning equipment, we can offer a full DPF cleaning service, with a same-day turnaround – guaranteed.

Garage services

As well as DPF cleaning and general car servicing, we provide a host of other garage services, all performed by fully-qualified technicians. From full MOT checks and wheel alignments, to pre-journey inspections prior to a big trip, whatever is currently ailing your car, D P Auto Repairs can put it right.

Other services

But that’s not all. At D P Auto Repairs, we also offer a pick-up and delivery service, if you’re unable to bring the vehicle to us yourself, as well as the use of a courtesy cars for the duration of any repairs. This includes picking up your car from the side of the road in the event of a breakdown.

When booking your vehicle in for Engine Management faults this is part of the process we go through to diagnose your issue. Each one of the lines you can see denotes a wire. This is a VERY SMALL section of the wiring within a vehicle so you can imagine how many hours it can take to trace wiring faults. Some diagnosis requires us to trace wiring through the whole vehicle.

Wiring should always be checked thoroughly before condemning any component fault code generated by any code reader. Just because a code may read a particular part fault within a vehicle this doesn’t mean by just replacing that part you will solve the issue. There could be a fault within the Wiring/Electrical circuit leading to that part or beyond it, which has caused the code. There are many factors that go into diagnosing a vehicle fault correctly which is why having Ford Main Dealer level diagnostic equipment & Senior Ford Technician experience is vital to a correct diagnosis. ...
